He added that he was “praying it’s the last time I have to come back.”

Presley’s struggles had also been discussed by his younger sister, Kaia Gerber. In an interview with Vogue published August 11, Kaia spoke about what the magazine described as Presley’s “decade-long struggle with drug addiction.”
She explained that his struggles had affected the entire family and said she began identifying herself as “the easy one” because she did not want to add another source of worry for their parents.
“My parents for most of our lives were very, very private and didn’t share anything – and now we have this absolute teacher, my brother, who says, ‘I’m gonna be very human for everyone,'” Kaia said.
She also said she was “deeply proud of him.” Just over a month later, Presley was dead at 27.
Before his death, Presley had remained connected to his family and the fashion world. His final public appearance came June 11 at the We Are ENOUGH x Aviator Nation launch event at Aviator Nation Dreamland in Malibu, where he appeared alongside Cindy and Rande.
